Project C.O.P.E.
C.O.P.E. stands for Challenging Outdoor Personal
Experience. COPE consists of a
series of obstacles
and challenges designed to foster problem solving skills and group
interaction. Seven key goals are developed:
| LEADERSHIP | SELF
ESTEEM | TEAMWORK |
| PROBLEM SOLVING | TRUST | Plus!FUN! |
| COMMUNICATION | DECISION MAKING |
These
goals are accomplished through obstacles and challenges to force the
group to work together, communicate with each other, and trust the group
decision as they attempt a solution to the obstacle.The COPE program
generally consists of Initiative Games, Low Course, High Course, and
Rapelling.
